Speaking

I am available to come and share ideas about teaching the faith to kids with your group of catechists or teachers. I have spoken to groups of 10-150, always address a spectrum of grade levels and learning styles, and bring lots of examples and projects. When I speak, one of my primary goals is that the teachers in attendance walk out with at least one idea (and hopefully lots) that they can implement easily and quickly into their classrooms.

I make available the ideas that I share in my presentations here on my blog so there are not a bunch of individual links and resources to track down. It is all about sharing the faith and enriching the experience that students have in our classrooms as they grow in knowledge and love of Christ and His Church.

Also, if you are interested in the Fulton Sheen Curriculum, the canonization process, and the alleged miracle submitted to the Vatican for Sheen's (possible) Beatification, Bonnie Engstrom of A Knotted Life and I are willing to travel and present together.

If you are interested in having me come to your church or school, please
contact me through the comment box here on the blog or at katherine

Hi. I love your blog. I help with an organization called Friends of Jesus and Mary which has prayer groups for children. We have a website under the Florida Center for Peace (www.fcpeace.com) We love your Holy Door activity and want to use it in our monthly package that we publish on the website. Can we use it? What procedure is necessary. Please advise. Blessings, Maria

Hi Maria! I would be honored if you included the holy door project as a resource. All I ask is that you include looktohimandberadiant.blogspot.com as attribution on the pages and you email me a link of the final project. Thanks for sharing the Year of Mercy!

Hi Katie,I just got your email where you explain about your prayer book collection. I love the idea of keeping prayers all in one neat place. I teach religion to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. I would love to get a copy of your ebook, but not sure how to get. I love your blog, it has really helped me put together so many lessons.Thank you for sharing your gift!

Hi Diana! I'd love to share! If you already an email subscriber, you should have received it this summer- sorry you missed it! Can you send me an email to looktohimandberadiant (at) blogspot (dot) com from the email you subscribed with and I'll send you a copy. Thanks!

"Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece." -Saint John Paul the Great
